The song was a track I built years ago, almost certainly for the Mystery Lady so she could sing it. The orchestration is mine and I screwed with the arrangement a tad and that went successfully but not, apparently, well.
Silas tried to sing it, see. The result has been recorded but the lyrics are borked a little beyond the modulation for the last segment. The precise problem is not located yet and it's fifty/fifty whether to continue. The vocal is probably about 75% cool since hitting the notes isn't the problem and they felt full enough but the lows are hardly impossible to reach but rather they aren't pushed enough. Mystery Lady, I haven't forgotten about pushing with the diaphragm but I might have (definitely) abused that a wee bit because I was trying it sitting down so my diaphragm wasn't doing a whole hell of lot.
(Ed: you seriously tried to sing that cheeseball piece of shit?)
Well, yeah, that's exactly what I was trying to do and it was even about 75% successful. The thinking is Mystery Lady could kill songs which were written for a male voice (e.g. "Rebel Yell") so let's try that the other around and sing a woman's part.
The problem isn't that I'm trapped in a man's body but rather I'm trapped in any body (larfs). Paul Delph nailed that years ago when he sang, "I Don't Need No Body."
The reason for doing it in the first place is you will never find anything if you don't experiment and push every damn thing you have got into it.
After taking a few whacks at it, I asked Yevette, "Would you consider that completely embarrassing, medium embarrassing, or not at all embarrassing?"
She said it almost made her cry. I told her thank you and that was my problem as well because the biggest 'problem' doing it is being on the edge of tears and maybe that's kind of charming or something but that's just a wee bit questionable. But, really, is it art?? Who the hell cares. If it makes a woman cry then she feels it. With that, it doesn't matter if it's art.
Unknown how far this will go but it's unknown how anything will go so that's perfectly alright with the song. We shall see.
